Two Way PlowJD 3835

What is the experience with these JD two way plows like this 3835? Do they work well in stones and clay or is it a light soil no stones plow only?

Do they make a trip bottom version of it? I am not sure what is in the picture. Maybe a shear bolt trip at most.

Thanks.

About the most worthless thing ever invented. That 3 bottom pulls about as hard as a 5 bottom . In hard ground they won?t go in without new shares sometimes replace the shares every 30 acres in a dry fall which may not seem like a lot but it is when you are covering 2000 acres. They turn the ground worth a dang in anything with sod . You might pull a one bottom with a 2510
 
If you've gotta big tractor light soil and don't want to break ground out and only want to plow 8 inches deep they're great . Pulled a 7 bottom on land with 250 hp mfwd dualed up and ballast to 30,000 8 inches deep was all It could muster and 4 mph , to put that into perspective pulled a 6 18 Melroe with a size smaller tractor in tougher white clay at 6mph 10 inches deep
 
You won't like it for breaking ground out or anything but stubble and you have to pull 5 mph for them to turn the ground right and they eat the wear parts
 
Some of the BTOs here pull them on the sandy mesa soils.But those guys all have BIG tractors. You're right,they all seem to go fast.One guy down on the river in the heavy soil bought one several years ago. Didn't keep it a year. Traded it off on a new IH/ArtsWay rollover.
 
John Deere had a 8 bottom in the sales brochure for one year they must have decided they didn?t make a big enough tractor to pull it becuse after that they only listed up to a 7 bottom . I?ve seen two 8 bottom John Deere?s. My cousin has a 7 bottom Harrell he wanted a rollover but the Harrell was cheap he?s had to weld it back together a couple times becuse it can?t handle the hard ground . I?ve ripped bottoms off in half frozen ground on the John Deere before but never broke the frame
